It booted right up
« on: December 28, 2018, 09:38:04 PM »

I decided to spend some time over the holiday break seeing if my old Amiga 1200 still worked.  It booted right up!  Its been at least 15 years since it was last running!

I'm sure I'll have some questions.

Its is not stock.  It has a Blizzard 1230 IV Turbo Board with FPU.  It also has a Surf Squirrel SCSI card and that works as well with an old 1GB hard drive I have in an external enclosure!

I'm using a Commodore 1084 monitor and, wow, I forgot about the flickering.

I bought this 1200 in the early 90's and used it throughout that decade as my home system while in grad school.

Most of my work was done on various unix workstations so I used the A1200 to log in.   I had "Miami" to provide internet over the modem connection.  Then various telnet, email, UseNet and MUD programs.  At one point I installed AmiWin2.2 which provided Xwindows for Amiga.  I then built some X11 applications using SAS C.   I didn't really use it as a gaming platform but did enjoy Lemmings.

SMD caps?    What kind of store might do a recapping of an old Amiga?
